Seth Jarvis is back in the mix for Carolina. The Hurricanes winger has officially shed his no-contact jersey as he works through recovery from offseason shoulder surgery. That's a significant step forward for a player the Canes absolutely need healthy, and the timeline is trending in the right direction.
Shifting to the diamond, Paul Goldschmidt isn't ready to hang it up. The veteran first baseman told reporters after the Yankees were bounced from the Division Series that he intends to play beyond this season. Goldschmidt turns thirty nine this year and has been signing one-year deals, but his desire to keep competing is clear. Expect another contract chase this winter.
And in Denver, Sean Payton is done watching from the sideline figuratively speaking. The Broncos head coach is stepping in to take a more active role in offensive play-calling starting this Sunday against the Chargers. Offensive coordinator Davis Webb stays in communication with Bo Nix, but Payton gets the final word. The offense has underdelivered and Payton clearly decided enough is enough.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
